Hey, thats MY job!

6th

Ok so I'm being made redundant tomorrow but fear not! I saw a job advertised this morning and applied straight away.

Its almost like someone I knew posted this job as a piss-take, because I'd be perfect for it. Seriously it would not be fair on this company if they didnt hire me.

So apart from applying for the job what can I do to better my chances? Keep in mind I am not afraid to do what I have to do in this scary time :pac:

C'mon good people of AH ... get creative!

Maybe it IS your job and you're sh*t at it and your employer is getting you out the back door and replacing you with cheaper labour.

Professor in charge of watching Countdown every day?

Fratton Fred

what's the point of having a 6th sense if you have to wait until the job is advertised before you apply? surely getting your CV to the employer before they advertise is your biggest advantage:pac:

Just don't repeatedly soil yourself or try to spike one of the interviewer's drinks during the interview. I made that mistake before.

You would have been a great addition to the Boards.ie ltd team btw.

Mr.Lizard

Don't even go to the interview. Just turn up on the first day of work and act like you already work there.

Camp outside their office until they submit. It works.

I was thinking of standing on the roof of a car outside their office holding a gettoblaster (yeah I said it!) over my head playing "Mama said knock you out" by LL Cool J.

Huh, if you hadn't already applied I'd give boring answers such as "tailor your CV to include every single buzzword contained in the job spec".

Given that you've already applied, I'd send a balloon-a-gram to HR saying "Thanks for considering me". Then, after the interview, send a handwritten note to the company thanking them for their time. Send it via a guy dressed in a gorilla suit (or a strippagram, if it's an IT job).

Tbh, I'd just refrain from mentioning "6th". Just pretend your normal.

Dear Sir

Thank you for your letter of May 1st. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
a job in your department.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite your company's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department next week. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
6th
